Self-Service Dumpster Rental or Full-Service Junk Removal?
When you’re preparing to clean out your home, do a DIY renovation project, need to help a hoarding relative, or simply have some junk that has piled up over the years, it may be time to think about renting a dumpster. There are several benefits to using a dumpster, especially if you have projects that will continue to generate debris as you go. Junk King’s dumpster rental in Fairfax aims to provide affordable dumpsters that will fit on a standard driveway while also offering a good amount of space.
Not sure when to rent a dumpster or why you’d want a dumpster instead of using our junk removal services? Let’s take a look at the basics of dumpster rental and why it might be the solution to all of your needs.
Junk King is known for its full-service junk removal. When you schedule a junk pick-up, we bring a large truck to your home. Our team hauls away the items you point out to us. You don’t have to do anything else. There’s no need to move any heavy old furniture to the curb or the garage. We will carefully maneuver it out of your home and into our truck, so there’s nothing you have to worry about.
However, this has a downside: you have to know precisely what you want to get rid of, and it has to be ready to go out the door. If you have a large basement full of stuff, you may not know if it’s all junk or not. You’ll need to sort through it. As you do, you’ll find things you want to keep, but you’ll also find stuff that needs to go. What do you do with that junk? To have space to go through everything, you may need to move it out of the basement. That means getting it up the stairs on your own and then finding some place to keep it until you have everything together for us. It’s not ideal.
Another situation that isn’t ideal for full-service junk removal is a DIY project. For example, while renovating your kitchen may create a large amount of debris early on, there may be more you make as you go. You’ll have all the packaging from your counters, the remainders from cutting tile or vinyl flooring pieces to fit, and more. If you have us come pick up the garbage after you demo your old kitchen, what do you do with the trash you create as you work? You’ll have to call us again if you want to have that junk hauled away.
The best solution in these cases is to rent a dumpster. With a dumpster on-site, you can throw away trash and unwanted items as you go. This allows you to create space in the basement, attic, or garage to sort out the items you want to keep since you can take the junk out immediately. With DIY projects, you can fill the dumpster with trash as you create it. There’s no need to pile up all the debris until you call us, and everything goes straight to the trash.
Examples of Projects for Dumpsters
Here are a few examples of specific projects that could benefit from dumpster rental:
- Spring cleaning, especially if you haven’t gone through some parts of your home (attic, basement, garage, storage shed) in several years.
- Demolishing an old shed, deck, or other yard structure.
- Doing a DIY renovation, including changing out the floors, redoing the kitchen, or updating a bathroom.
- Cleaning out a rental property.
- Flipping a home.
- Preparing a home you’ve inherited for sale.
These are just a few of the different times you might want to have a dumpster on hand. A dumpster could be the right solution any time you know you’ll have a lot of junk but won’t have it all ready at once for pick-up.
On the other hand, here are a few situations where our junk pick-up service may be the better option:
- You have a few pieces of old furniture or a broken appliance to get rid of.
- You have a single large item such as a hot tub that you need gone.
- Everything you want to be hauled away is in one place and ready to go.
How to Tell Which Option is Right for You
If you know you’ll need junk removal or a dumpster, here are a few questions to ask yourself that will help you determine which solution is right for you:
- Is all of the junk ready to go? If yes, junk hauling is the right option.
- Will you make more trash as you go? If yes, get a dumpster.
- Do you know what you want to get rid of? If you do, have us haul it away. If you don’t and will need to sort through items, a dumpster is going to help.
- Do you have space to store or sort through junk? If you don’t, a dumpster will give you that space.
